POETRY: gary gets with it

coffee five           (must make more)

what is this?          . . .   a cough in the continuum  . . .

lack of topic is topic i suppose (worthwhile?)

  what else can be said?    – we are all belated poets

    we were born too late in time to ever create anything

      the entire literary discipline is now nothing more than

        regurgitation interpretation hindsight and mutation

         of existing ideas existing stories existing characters

          existing metaphor existing conflict tension—

            nothing left to say or do       all i have now

               is nothing to say but i say it anyway

                  and that’s beauty too but even this is repetition

                     John Cage already said what i am saying

                        and i could claim ignorance

                        i could claim to have come up with it

                                                      on my own

                                        but no one would believe me

                                                             so

                                             there really is no point

                                            but all i know and love is words

                                                                  so i’ll carry on

                                                                  with my pointless cause

                                                                 (let them laugh    let them scorn

                                                                           and   screww    ‘em

                                                                             cuz that’s already been done too)
